Question

In retaliation for taking American hostages, the U.S. froze all Iranian assets in the United States.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The answer is true. Apart from the U.N. also put sanctions on Iran and this put a strain in international relations between Iran and the rest of the world. After a failed attempt to rescue the hostages, Jimmy Carter lost a bid for re-election and the hostages were eventually released during the administration of Ronald Reagan.
